Business Development Manager – Construction Sector
Location: UK-wide (field-based / flexible)
Salary: Up to £70,000 basic + company car
The opportunity
Our client, a well-established and growing supplier to the UK construction industry, is looking to add a proven sales professional to its team. This is a newly created role with strong backing and you can be based anywhere in the UK.
What they're looking for
The key requirement is simple: you will already have an established customer base within the construction industry that you can approach from day one. This is a genuine opportunity for an experienced salesperson to bring their relationships to a business that will support them to grow those accounts and win new ones.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
